I didn’t open The Bookmatters alone. We did.
If you’d told me a few years ago that I’d willingly have another business partner, I would have laughed (maybe cried) and dramatically sworn on a stack of first editions that it would never happen. Been there, done that, got the emotional battle scars. But, well… here we are.
Because then there was Isa.
Since day one, she’s run The Bookmatters like she owned it. And now? She actually does.
Running a bookstore isn’t exactly a get-rich-quick scheme (shocking, I know), but somehow, this team—Isa, Bailey, Kenzie, and Jordan—turned our little shop into something thriving, magical, and completely ours.
So, yeah. The girl who once vowed she’d never have another business partner? Turns out, she was dead wrong. This was the easiest and best decision I’ve ever made.
Moral of the story? Never say never.
